Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 3/4 cup warm water (you may need less, depends on the flour you’re using)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
  • Pinch of saffron
  • ** 2 cups oil for frying
  • **For the syrup:
  • 3 tablespoons date syrup

Instruction

  • In a blender, add water and then the rest of ingredients. Blend well until you get a combined smooth batter.
  • Pour in a bowl, cover, and let it double in size in warm place. May take an hour.
  • In a deep frying pan, add oil and when hot reduce to medium heat.
  • To test how hot the oil is, take a teaspoon from the batter, and carefully drop it in the oil, if it floats quickly, the oil is too hot.
  • Dip a spoon in separate oil, then take a heaped teaspoon from batter, push the batter off it using another spoon. Careful while dropping the batter in oil.
  • Move the dumplings around using a wooden spoon or spatula, this will make them cook evenly.
  • When the dumplings are light brown, remove from oil, and place them on kitchen paper.
  • Pour your favorite syrup on top (I’ve used date syrup). The syrup should be at room temperature.
  • You should serve these dumplings the same day you make them.
